Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I eat the same thing almost every day for lunch. Calcium is on hold until I'm over the surgery. Ham in a whole wheat wrap, a granola bar, a cereal bar and a hard boiled egg. Once a week I'll get a sub.

tbf, Tesla has supposedly begun deliveries as of this afternoon. At this point, I suspect a lot of the bloom is off the rose for many people who ever considered buying anything from Elmo.

Many schools of thought in the medical field. Coincidentally, I saw my cardiologist today for a check up. She told me to get cardia mobile and send her my abnormal results via a secure patient portal.
Livalo cost me $6k per year until Medicare took over.

But with the Tesla truck, you get all the joy of being a beta tester! AND you get to pay for it!

You just need to find 8 friends to share it with! I think a 72 oz "steak" is really a roast.
